VALENTINE'S MANUAL

[Many street names have been entirely discontinued.
Old Love Lane, formerly Twenty-first Street west of
Fifth Avenue, is a case in point. And this list might
easily be lengthened. VV^e ought to celebrate great Amer¬
icans when new names are needed, and get away from
the tiresome numerical system heretofore slavishly fol¬
lowed.]
